Although the scalp is extremely valued by Poles, he admitted that he still enjoys something even more than gaining three points. “Every team has the ambition to get out of the group at least and our ambitions, of course, were not lower. After this victory, the pressure on our shoulders will be even greater. We have two more matches ahead of us that can change everything, and the result of the match was not so important to me, but rather the fact that we wanted to prove that our players are able to play a really good match, “ declared a 48-year-old native of Prešov.
“Of course, the players have their ambitions, even though we went to the match humbly. The victory brought energy into our veins, but now we have to prepare for Sweden and then Spain, “said Tarkovič.
